The Canyon Lake 9ers Golf Club invites high school Canyon Lake seniors to apply for a Student Athlete Scholarship to be awarded in May. Applicants must be residents of Canyon Lake, have maintained a 3.5 GPA, and have been actively involved in school activities, a sports team and community service.

Last year, the 9ers Club, with the help of the Canyon Lake golf community and many Canyon Lake businesses, awarded five scholarships to outstanding scholar athletes.

To apply for this year’s 2021-22 scholarship, graduating seniors need to obtain an application packet from their high school counseling department, the Canyon Lake Pro Shop, or from Linda Kielty of the Canyon Lake 9ers Club.

“You are asked to fill out the application including a ‘Brag Sheet’,” the club’s Mavis Schutz said. “You will need to write an essay and include recommendations from a teacher and a coach.”

Top candidates for the scholarships will be invited to interview with the 9ers Club Scholarship Committee.

Completed application packets should be returned to the Canyon Lake Golf Pro Shop or be sent to Linda Kielty, 22698 Calcutta Dr. Canyon Lake, by May 2. Questions can be addressed to Linda at 951.202.5046 or lmkrak@gmail.com.
